Off center wrapping around X?

We are driving a facemill around the outside of a cylinder on a vertical machine with a 4th axis rotary along X. We want to drive the tool 1.25" off center of Y rather than on center. Currently we are hand editing the Y axis move and it's working but not ideal. How do we make FC drive the tool centerline along the part at Y1.25?

 

Another issue coming up is a future cylinder shape part that will have several areas with larger diameters so we will want to drive the facemill along a contoured shape rather than just a straight cylinder. We will need to move the facemill into the valleys (along Y axis) then up in Z to the larger diameters while rotating Z and moving along X

 

 

Thanks,

Jeff
